Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding Cialis dosage. The typical starting dose is 10mg taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual health needs. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose of 20mg in a 24-hour period.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects, though rare, include vision changes (including sudden vision loss), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Precautions
Cialis interacts with certain medications, including nitrates. Taking Cialis with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can increase Cialis levels in your blood. If you have heart problems, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or liver disease, discuss Cialis use with your doctor before taking it. Cialis is not suitable for everyone, and pre-existing health conditions should be considered. People with certain eye conditions should also consult a doctor before use.
Alcohol and Cialis
Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is generally acceptable, but avoid excessive drinking while taking Cialis.
Storage
Store Cialis at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
